John welcomes writer and comedian Alex Edelman to look at how he wrote his solo show Just For Us, and dig into the meaning of “write what you know.” They discuss finding your voice as a writer, developing your story with an audience, why Alex doesn’t write his shows down, and the sample that first got him staffed.
We also answer listener questions on what to do when your manager doesn’t understand your comedy, and the value of characters speaking to themselves.
In our bonus segment for premium members, John asks Alex, how do you set boundaries on material when you’re dating another comedian?
